Beautiful- the only real, non-backpacker option in Vang Vieng

We stayed at Riverside for 2 nights- the rooms are beautiful, large and with gorgeous verandah views of the pool and mountain backdrop. The only complaint I have is that there was not enough hot water to fill the bottom of the bathtub, although fine for a shower (no point having a bathtub then!). Tea and coffee as well as bottled water are complimentary. The pool, whilst a typical shallow, hotel pool, is clean, peaceful and the sun beds are always replenished with clean towels. Customer service is friendly and the staff attentive but can be forgetful (we asked them to spray our room for mosquitos whilst we were out at dinner- no mozzie nets by the way and a few mozzies in the room can keep you awake all night- but they forgot).
The restaurant is beautifully located overlooking the river, with fresh white napkins and well laid-out crockery. The buffet breakfasts are very adequate and have a good variety of cereals, fruit, eggs, bacon, Asian noodles and the most delicious croissants. The restaurant also serves lunch and dinner- we ate there on both nights and the food was very pleasing and well prepared.
After a full day of caving, trekking or kayaking, this hotel is the ideal place to rest your weary muscles (shame about the bath though). For a romantic getaway or a weekend splurge, this boutique hotel is worth the extra (prices are substantially higher than...We stayed at Riverside for 2 nights- the rooms are beautiful, large and with gorgeous verandah views of the pool and mountain backdrop.

The staff is intuitive of your every need and willing to go the extra mile for their guests. The rooms are large and well appointed with all that you could ever need. If you are looking for a great hotel with wonderful customer service, look no further than this hotel.

We just stayed at the hotel for 3 days, very well run, clean, friendly staff and the location is amazing, we stayed here because we like a place with a pool and we weren't disappointed, laying by the pool watching the world go by on the river.We love a good time and its only a short walk up town but its a great place to come back to after a day of adventure

Riverside boutique Resort, Is infact right on the river, has a wonderful pool and all the rooms face the river, the upstairs rooms closer to the rivers edge have great views. The manager was super nice and made our stay extra comfortable. Great breakfast in a truly spectacular setting. Its far from the noisy mostly backpacker part of town but a short walk to all the fun reating places. This along with the resort next door are probably the only resorts that are not in the back packer category. Will happily return for the fantastic setting.

Excellent location near the river.Clean and modern rooms .Definitely the most luxurious hotel in Vang Vieng.Only downside is the limited choice of breakfast.A pity we only stayed for 1 night.Recommended restaurant in Vang Vieng : Café le Paris ( french owner)

I am just now sitting on the balcony overlooking the river and the mountains.Good heavens Terry were did you stay?Another Riverside Hotel?.There is one across the street.To compare this resort pricewise with a backpacker hostel is by far the most incorrect judgement I have have ever seen on Tripadvisor and should be removed by a moderatorI wiill not add more comments because all has been said already.I booked directly with the hotel (cannot be booked cheaper by any booking site) and is very pleased with the value..
